Haiti 2021 Earthquake Relief Efforts

Devastating natural disasters in Haiti — a massive 7.2-magnitude earthquake followed by tropical depression Grace — have wreaked havoc in the country. With more than 2,200 people reported dead, over 12,000 injured, and hundreds more missing, as well as 100,000 homes and 130 schools destroyed, the people of Haiti are struggling to get back on their feet. And this comes on top of an already fragile security situation and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Learn more about our response.
